It looks very nice. I see two joysticks on there, must be a MAME cabinet? Did you go CRT or LCD for the monitor?

Good work.

looks nice, but the angles of the bezel and marquee look a bit off.

Actually... I too am wanting to build a Nintendo cab like this. I'd second that instruction.

The Jakobud DK plans have some minor errors like the monitor mount angle IIRC.

Check DK and "Fix it Felix" build threads for corrections.

The jakobud plans are a good springboard for starting a Nintendo style cab.  Like Scott said they arent perfect but you can correct any issues during the build.  I built a FIF Jr cab with them as a guide and ran into little to no issues as I built my cab.
